Audi R8 Gen 2 (2015-2024) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber V Spoiler

Engineered for Audi R8 Gen 2 (2015-2024) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber V Spoiler adds a clean, aggressive lip-profile finish to the trunk line. Its low-profile V geometry creates a more minimal yet striking accent compared to the GT Spoiler. Manufactured in Europe to factory tolerances and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Audi R8 carbon spoiler bonds directly to the OEM trunk surface — no cutting, no drilling, no modification required.

If you're building a serious Audi R8 tuning project and want a part that exceeds the factory trunk line and adds real aerodynamic value, this dry carbon V Spoiler is the answer. Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure, prepreg carbon fiber delivers a noticeably lighter and stronger structure than wet-lay parts. Tuned to match the LMS racing DNA of the Gen 2 R8's 5.2L V10 FSI naturally-aspirated engine (V10 540 hp / V10 Plus 610 hp / V10 Performance 570-612 hp / R8 GT RWD 620 hp), the V geometry is a visual and functional upgrade for track and street alike.

Key Features

• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Pre-impregnated carbon plies autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure for a more consistent weave.
• Low-Profile V Geometry: Lower and more subtle than the GT Spoiler; adds aggression without breaking the original R8 silhouette.
• Aerodynamic Performance: Increases rear-axle grip at high speed and cleans airflow over the rear bumper top edge.
• Significant Weight Savings: Noticeably lighter than the OEM plastic trunk spoiler.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon fiber pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on factory Audi R8 Gen 2 (2015-2024) trunk surface using pre-applied 3M VHB tape.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat protects against fading, cracking, fuel splash, and road tar.

Prepreg (Dry) Carbon vs. Wet Carbon — Which Is Better?

Most aftermarket carbon parts are made using wet lay-up, where resin is hand-applied and room-temperature cured — leaving weave and weight that vary part to part. Prepreg (dry) carbon:

• Cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure → a more consistent weave
• A controlled resin ratio → lighter and stronger
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use

Vehicle Fitment

This Audi R8 V Spoiler fits both pre-facelift and post-facelift Gen 2 models:

• Audi R8 Coupé Gen 2 Pre-facelift (2015-2018) — V10 5.2L FSI (540 hp)
• Audi R8 V10 Plus Gen 2 Pre-facelift (2015-2018) — V10 5.2L (610 hp)
• Audi R8 RWS Gen 2 (2018) — V10 5.2L FSI (540 hp)
• Audi R8 Coupé Gen 2 Post-facelift (2019-2024) — V10 Performance Quattro (570/612 hp)
• Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD (2019-2024) — 540 hp
• Audi R8 GT RWD (2022-2023 limited 333 units) — 620 hp

Important notes:

• The V Spoiler mounts on the trunk lid; therefore it is designed for Coupé models. The Spyder's rear deck geometry differs and this spoiler is not recommended for Spyder.
• The V Spoiler and the GT Spoiler are two distinct products: the V Spoiler is a lower lip-style profile, while the GT Spoiler offers a taller, more aggressive R8 GT-inspired profile.
• NOT compatible with the previous-generation Audi R8 Gen 1 (2006-2015) — completely different trunk geometry.
• The Lamborghini Huracán shares the same MLBevo platform but has different trunk and rear-end geometry; NOT compatible with the Huracán.

Installation Notes

Installing the Audi R8 V Spoiler is an adhesive-mounted process on the trunk top edge. Professional installation is recommended:

1. Clean the trunk top edge with isopropyl alcohol and dry.
2. Mark the bonding line using a template (center-line reference).
3. Test-fit the spoiler for left/right alignment.
4. Peel the VHB protective liner and press firmly for full bond.
5. Avoid washing or pressure-washing for the first 48 hours.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer nozzle at least 30 cm from surface.

FAQ

Does this fit both pre- and post-facelift R8?
Yes. The V Spoiler mounts on the trunk lid; trunk geometry did not change with the 2019 facelift, so it is cross-fit for pre- and post-facelift Gen 2.

Is the V Spoiler the same as the GT Spoiler?
No. The V Spoiler is a lower lip-style design; the GT Spoiler is a taller, more aggressive R8 GT-inspired profile. Choose based on visual preference.

Compatible with the Audi R8 Spyder (Convertible)?
No. The V Spoiler is for Coupé only, since the Spyder's folding rear deck geometry differs.

Compatible with Gen 1?
No. Gen 1 has completely different trunk size and geometry.

Compatible with the Lamborghini Huracán?
No. Despite shared platform, the Huracán has different trunk and rear-end geometry.

Is the adhesive strong enough?
Yes. The pre-applied 3M VHB industrial double-sided tape is automotive OEM grade; with proper surface prep it holds for years.

Shipping time?
In-stock items ship within 1-3 business days.

Warranty?
BYC Performance offers a 12-month warranty on this product.
